Pagure is a git hosting software that you can easily install on your macOS system. In this tutorial, we'll go through the steps needed to install it, using Homebrew.
Before we start, make sure you have the following:
Follow the steps below to install Pagure on macOS:
Pagure requires a PostgreSQL database to be installed on your system. To install it, use Homebrew with the following command:
brew install postgresql
Once the installation is complete, start the PostgreSQL service with:
brew services start postgresql
To install Pagure, run the following command:
brew install pagure
This will install all the necessary dependencies for Pagure.
For Pagure to work correctly, you need to create a configuration file. You can use the sample configuration file provided by Pagure to get started:
cp /usr/local/etc/pagure/pagure.cfg.sample /usr/local/etc/pagure/pagure.cfg
Now, you need to initialize the Pagure database by running the following command:
pagure-db-admin initdb
This will create the necessary tables in the PostgreSQL database.
Finally, start the Pagure server with the following command:
pagure --debug --host 0.0.0.0
This will start the server on port 5000, and you can access it by opening a web browser and navigating to http://localhost:5000/.
In this tutorial, we learned how to install Pagure on macOS using Homebrew. To get started with Pagure, configure your server as per your requirements, and you'll be ready to share your code with the world.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
